Reportedly, Goldberg, Booker
T, Scott Steiner, Ric Flair, and Diamond Dallas Page have spoken to the WWF about
joining them. As established on several occasions, the only way they will be able to join
WWFE would be to settle on a contract of a much lesser pay to join the new WCW. Time
Warner is offering them from 30 to 50% of their current contracts to buy out, and to let
them work for WCW.

Congrats are in order to my
man Booker T. on his latest WCW Heavyweight Title win. Booker is one of my favorite people
and wrestlers in this entire business! Also congrats to Jeff Hardy on his win over HHH for
the IC Title. Both Jeff and HHH are two of the best in the world!

A lot of speculation has been
made on whether or not any WCW wrestlers would be present at the Backlash pay-per-view
this weekend. It was first announced that no WCW wrestlers would be in attendance at the
WWF pay-per-view but it is now looking as if Shane McMahon will bring a WCWer with him to
the event to help him in his Last Man Standing Match with Big Show. The top candidates are
Mike Awesome or Booker T.
